Arc Chidi Clinton Okoli also served as the General Manager/Chief Executive of the Imo State Housing Corporation in the Government of Imo State of Nigeria, where, within two months of assumption of office, ensured that the staff of that Government Housing Development Agency that had been owed salaries and allowances for years were not only paid wages but received their allowances and were sent for training programs and career development seminars and workshops. He ensured that the Agency was reorganized, removing deadwood with values to add to the Agency and deploying skilled professionals (Architects, Engineers, Planners, and Builders) to add value to the Agency and keep up-to-date with their core mandate. Under his tenure, the state Housing Corporation came back to life, bubbling with activities unlike when it was tagged a ‘moribund organization.
